This week in Writing Workshop...
We are wrapping up our poetry unit! This is one of my favorite
units to teach because I love reading the students' unique vocabulary, thoughts
and ideas written into a poem format. We have been publishing our poems into
our Poetry Pockets which will probably come home next week! I can't wait for
you to read them!
This week in Reading Workshop...
We will continue to read poems written by a variety of authors. We
will learn that readers think about the poems they read, have opinions about
the poems they read and how to justify opinions. We will also talk about
visualizing books or poems we are reading!
This week in Social Studies...
We will talk about culture! I love working at Caraway because of
the diversity of our school. We will talk and answer questions such as why
family and community beliefs, customs, languages and traditions are so important
to our community. We will also talk about understanding and respecting
different cultures.
This week in Math...
We will wrap up our relating addition and subtraction unit. IXL
has great practice on these concepts. We will use problem solving to show our
addition and subtraction skills, and how we can relate one another to solve a
problem and still get the same correct answer. We will ask ourselves these
questions while problem solving this week:
How do I decide which strategy to use when adding or subtracting
numbers?
How can I use numbers and symbols to represent real-life
situations?
How can I use number sentences to solve problems?
This week in Science...
We will get our chick eggs on Wednesday!!! We will review what we
learned about birds last week and talk more about what our classroom chick
project will look like. We will start our Project Based Learning unit on
Chickens when we come back from our three day weekend! The chicks take 21 days
to hatch! This is one of my favorite times in first grade!
This week’s life skill is EFFORT: to do your best. We will talk about what it means to do our
best, why doing our best is important, and how everyone’s best can look
different.
Have a great week! :)
